Teo: Safe Web drive to connect with 344 schools
SERDANG: The Communications Ministry will visit 344 primary and secondary schools nationwide between May and August as part of its Safe Internet Campaign, which is aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness among students.
Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the goal is to reach as many schools and university campuses as possible.
She said the campaign has already started in nine schools.
While all institutions are on the ministry's list, Teo noted that participation depends on whether they are open to hosting the programme.
'For secondary school students, we'll focus on preventing the misuse of technology.
'At the university level, the emphasis may shift to job scam awareness,' she told reporters at a Diabetes Day 2025 event at Universiti Putra Malaysia here yesterday.
Teo said the campaign is supported by 196 trainers under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's Train the Trainers initiative.
These facilitators will conduct age-appropriate sessions on cyberbullying, online safety and digital literacy, Bernama reported.
At the Diabetes Day event, Teo served as one of the panellists in the event's special forum discussing the intersection of digital health and women's leadership.

Ripening agent in imported durians could pose health risks if misused
KUALA LUMPUR: The surge of imported durians in the market has sparked concerns among consumers, following claims that these fruits may contain chemicals potentially linked to chronic illnesses, including cancer. Professor Dr Norsida Man, from the Department of Agribusiness and Bioresource Economics at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), confirmed that a chemical called ethephon is widely used in the agricultural sector. Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is a plant growth regulator. It is a synthetic compound that breaks down into ethylene gas when absorbed by fruit or exposed to specific levels of moisture and temperature. "The compound reacts with water in the fruit's tissues to release ethylene gas — a natural plant hormone that triggers the ripening process," she said. However, she cautioned that if the fruit is harvested before it fully matures, the ripening process becomes incomplete. This results in fruit that appears ripe but has an inconsistent texture, a weaker aroma, and a less intense flavour. Ethephon is permitted in many countries but is subject to maximum residue limits that must be strictly followed. "Toxic effects can occur if ethephon is overused or if the ripening period before sale is insufficient — typically three to seven days are needed for the residues to break down." "In small doses and when used properly, it is not harmful. But what worries consumers is uncontrolled usage, especially in large-scale export industries driven by profit," she added. Common effects of ethephon use include unnatural taste and smell, inconsistent texture, and unstable quality of the fruit. "Exceeding safe limits may lead to potential long-term health effects such as hormonal disruption and organ damage, especially when used excessively and without regulation. "This issue highlights the dilemma between modern market demands and natural food quality. In the long run, rising consumer awareness could drive demand for more authentic, chemically unaltered durians," she said. Norsida also noted that in Thailand, durians are cultivated in various regions — the south, east, and central areas — allowing for a longer harvest season. The main season runs from March to July, while in southern regions near the Malaysian border, it may extend until September. In Malaysia, the main durian season typically occurs between May and August, particularly in states such as Pahang, Johor, Perak, and Penang. A secondary season, if it happens, typically runs from November to January, depending on weather and regional factors.

Performance-enhancing drugs are everywhere on social media, says Syarul
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Syarul Azman Mahen Abdullah, a six-time World and Asian bodybuilding champion, is deeply concerned by how easy it is to buy banned performance-enhancing drugs in Malaysia today. Syarul said sales of such drugs online, especially on social media, have become rampant and fears users could seriously harm themselves. He urged the government to take stern action to prevent the issue from getting worse. "There are so many performance enhancing drugs available on social media today, I have even had people offer such drugs to me," said Syarul when met today (May 26). "Sometimes I check the people or accounts who are following me on social media. "I get shocked at times when I check and see that they are actually selling all sorts of these performance-enhancing substances. "Newcomers to the sport might see this as a shortcut and try to use these substances. It can affect their health very seriously and can even cause a heart attack. "These are actually drugs which are meant to be used under strict doctor supervision in hospitals. "In the past, you had to go to the gym and try and talk to people to get such substances but now, everything is done online. "The government has to do something to stop this. I believe the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) can do something about it." Syarul said growth hormones, peptides and anabolic steroids among the performance-enhancing substances commonly sold. Syarul retired from competitive bodybuilding last year and currently coaches the national bodybuilding team. He was speaking after attending the launch of the Drug Free Youth Campaign awareness video in Kuala Lumpur today (May 26) - officiated by Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh - in cooperation with TGV Cinemas. TGV Cinemas will from now be screening a short drug awareness video before movies are shown at their cinemas nationwide. This is to create greater awareness regarding the dangers of recreational drug use.

Always connected, yet still alone
Why is it that despite constantly being connected, so many young people are feeling lonely?— IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star BY all appearances, today's youth are more socially connected than ever before, what with the proliferation of digital technologies and rise of online culture. So why is it that despite constantly being connected so many young people report feeling lonely? Founder of mental health portal Relate Malaysia and clinical psychologist Dr Chua Sook Ning says these feelings of loneliness among young people aren't consistently linked to the number of hours spent on social media. What matters more is the nature of those online connections, she explains, as being active on social media does not always translate into meaningful social connections. Many young people end up with numerous online interactions that don't lead to deeper relationships or offline support, which can leave them feeling emotionally unfulfilled despite being constantly connected, Chua says. 'Research shows that people who feel lonely often have more online friendships that don't carry over into their offline lives. 'This lack of offline connection is linked to lower relationship quality and satisfaction. 'So while they may be interacting online, it does not necessarily ease their loneliness,' she says. She points to a 2024 study of university students in China, which also found a bi-directional link between problematic social media use and loneliness. Problematic social media use is defined as excessive use that negatively affects functioning and psychological well-being. 'Essentially, those who are lonely tend to use social media in more problematic ways, which in turn worsens their loneliness,' she says. Dr Azree Nazri of Universiti Putra Malaysia says the dangers of loneliness is that it burdens both the body and mind. Neuroscience has shown that the brain processes social rejection in the same way as physical pain, activating the same neural circuits, he says. 'Chronic loneliness elevates cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone, which in turn weakens immunity, disrupts sleep, raises risks of cardiovascular disease and accelerates mental health decline,' says Azree, who is also a research fellow with Harvard Medical School. Some studies have even equated the long-term health effects of loneliness to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, he says. Psychologically, social connection is also fundamental, he says, pointing to theories like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which places love and belonging directly above physical safety, while attachment theory explains how early childhood bonds shape emotional regulation and social behaviour for life. This is why, Chua says, it is important to help young people recognise the difference between surface-level interaction and genuine connection. 'At the same time, we also need to create more accessible and appealing opportunities for social engagement, especially for those who find it difficult to connect with others,' she says. For young people, especially when they're still shaping their identity and figuring out their place in the world, any sense of emotional struggle can be seen as a flaw, so such internal struggles like loneliness are frequently kept hidden. Chua says this silence can compound the problem, making young people feel not only alone, but ashamed for feeling that way in the first place. 'Talking about our inner world isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courage and the beginning of greater emotional understanding, both of ourselves and others.'
